My kids and most of my Grand Kids are too old to show anymore, Last year I watyched my Great Grandson show dairy cattle at the local county fair, talk about making one feel old. How many on here enjoy going to their local 4-H County Fairs? Last edited by MB750; 07/13/19 10:01 AM. For years I have been tomstrap, now I must change because of the whims of the cyber world.

I enjoy watching the stock shows, and watching the kids work hard on their projects. I don't miss hauling stock, tack, feed, etc. to the fairgrounds, and practically living there for the week. And of course, its ALWAYS unbelievebly hot at fair time!

He took about 5 years off and is now buying some oxfords and getting back into it. And to tell you the truth...all his friends are still his 4H friends to this day. It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

Grandkids are showing in jackpot shows with pigs my daughter and son in law breed and sell all over. Oldest boy still has a flock of 50 or so ewes and brokers show lambs. He'll start as an ag teacher ffa advisor next year, maybe he's helping to run a show pig operation this summer and loving it sooo? So of my favorite timez were hauling kids to those shows, jackpotz were are favorites less local politics and really good judges. My boy also judges about 10 or so shows a year now too
